 Coinbase is too big to fail because it custodies too much institutional Bitcoin.

Unfortunately for them, they can't be bailed out if they lose the Bitcoin. So fail it must if it comes to it. 
 This is what we touched on at nostr:nprofile1qqsyxdugekdevmr0vhs0mv7s89vqzqk9sxuy2lewp8hyeg3rffe77zgpy9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumr90p5kuem5dahxy6t5vdhkjm3wdaexwtcpzemhxue69uhkvun9v4ehqet9vd5zucmpwdsj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09ugw247z. When I think of too big to fail I assume a bailout is intended. What happens in a Coinbase fail for people too dumb to write 12 words down? Does government collapse dollar to make them semi whole by buying remaining stock of BTC or do they let people not be bailed out after crypto donates so much into campaigns
